Panvel-Karjat Railway Corridor is a suburban railway infrastructure project under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP-III). It was designed to enhance railway connectivity between Panvel and Karjat in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The 29.6 km corridor is currently being developed by the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) and is expected to reduce travel time while easing congestion on existing railway routes. The project is part of an effort to expand the Mumbai Suburban Railway network and improve commuter transport between Mumbai and its extended suburbs.
